AFTER two postponed fights and a lot of verbal jabs, one of boxing’s most anticipated grudge matches is less than a month away.

The clash between ex-Love Islander Tommy Fury and YouTuber Jake Paul will take place in Saudi Arabia, on February 26.

Jake Paul and Tommy Fury will finally fight after two years of taunts

The fighters’ feud has escalated again after Paul taunted Tommy on a picture showing his nearly-born daughter

The ever-rising tensions hit boiling point this week after Paul leaked that his rival’s partner Molly-Mae Hague gave birth before their official announcement.

Despite apologising, he wrote on the couple’s Instagram post: “Just in time to watch your dad get knocked out.”

The remark, which has been branded “distasteful”, is the latest in a long line of clashes between the boxers.

As Tommy, 23, vows to ensure Paul, 26, will “never box again”, we look at how the bitter row began.

Tyson’s fury

Tommy’s brother Tyson Fury is believed to be the instigator of the imminent multi-million-pound boxing match.

Back in 2021, the 34-year-old shared a screengrab of what later emerged to be incorrect ‘viewing figures’ about his younger brother’s fight.

The image wrongly claimed Tommy’s match had been watched by 1.9million viewers, while others barely broke 100,000 views.

At the end of the social media post, which claimed Tommy “slaughtered” competition, he added: “@jakepaul where you at?”

The YouTuber then hit back and claimed to have no knowledge of who Tommy was, despite his appearance on reality TV show Love Island in 2019.

He said: “I get to the bottom of the Tweet and he’s calling me out to like fight someone, and the Tweet is about his brother.

“Oh, I didn’t even know he had a brother. Then he’s calling me out to fight his brother, and I’m like, ‘Bro, what the f*** is going on here?’

“I didn’t know Tyson Fury had a bro? I like Tyson Fury.

“I don’t want a beef with Tyson Fury, but damn, if Tyson Fury took a s***, it would be his little brother.

“He’s literally like this little kid. My point is here. You’re Tyson Fury’s little brother. If you want to fight me, don’t let your big bro do s*** for you.

“Log in to Instagram or Twitter and call me out for yourself, bro. What’s going on in this boxing world?”

Paul went on to brand Tommy a “Ken Barbie doll looking motherf***er” to which the Brit responded by donning a blonde wig to mock his locks and told him to “stick to YouTube”.

Molly-Mae’s fake flirty text

Both fighters continued to trade jabs online, with Paul accusing Fury’s girlfriend Molly-Mae Hague of flirtatiously messaging him in 2018.

The DM, which she denounced, read: “Might be coming to America later this year and have always been a fan of your videos.”

The alleged message, which featured a white heart emoji and a face licking its lips, was signed off: “Maybe you can show me around?!”

Molly-Mae later pointed out that the white heart emoji wasn’t in use at the time of her ‘message’.

On Twitter, she wrote: “Times must be hard when you’re having to fake a DM…. [two silly face emojis] photoshop is scary.”

Soon after the spat, Paul, 24, knocked out retired UFC welterweight Ben Askren, 37, to go 3-0 in his career.

It followed knockout wins over YouTube rival ‘AnEsonGib’ and ex-NBA player Nate Robinson, 37.

Tommy, 22, in June then went 6-0, while it was announced Paul would fight ex-UFC champion Tyron Woodley, 39, in August.

Beforehand, Tommy was considered as an opponent, but his profile Stateside was deemed not big enough.

Instead, Paul would have his rival fight on his undercard, against a sparring partner of his, Anthony Taylor, 32.

Backstage ‘melee’

Tommy, who signed a two-fight deal with US network Showtime, won on points while Paul did the same – putting them on course for a grudge match.

And the rivalry reached new heights when the pair came face-to-face backstage, causing a melee between their teams.

Tommy said afterwards: “There was a moment in that corridor where everything was going off between the security, my team, his team and it was just me and him.

“I looked dead into his soul. When the cameras are not around, he doesn’t want to know.

“Let’s be honest, if he really wanted to fight me, I’d have been in that ring there at the end through the ropes, let’s go, there’s no return.

“But he didn’t want that and the reason why he didn’t want me in the ring is because if I was getting in there, he wouldn’t be able to go back on it.”

Negotiations

Talks between the two began soon after, but immediately hit a road bump.

Tommy admitted he rejected two fight offers, believing he was being lowballed.

So Paul publicly bumped the deal up to $1million, plus additional pay-per-view bonuses.

But Tommy responded: “To everybody out there, $1million for a fight of this magnitude is not even worth getting out of bed for, this fight is going to gross millions and millions of pounds.

“I cannot walk down the street without anybody asking me when are you fighting Jake Paul, so until you want to make a serious offer and put it on the table, we can’t think about fighting pal.”

In 2021, Paul’s advisor Nakisa Bidarian told SunSport: “This is an unbelievable offer.

“More than most UFC champions get as a guaranteed base. It’s comical them saying it’s not worth getting out of bed for.”

The fight is now believed to have been agreed for $2.5million (£2m).
